Start/Run/fsmgmt.msc produces a list of shared folders.
None of the administrative shares are present.

At the command prompt, entering "net share ipc$," for
example, enables the ipc$ share ("ipc$ was shared
successfully" is the computer response). If you run
fsmgmt.msc at this point, the ipc$ share appears in the
shared folders list. Workgroup file sharing works normally
as well. However, the ipc$ sharing does not persist and
disappears from the shared folders list after a minute or
two and file sharing no longer works afterwards.

This is a frustrating problem. I have seen other postings
which seem to indicate a worm of some sort may be the
cause, but that appears unlikely in this case.
